tyler, Mr. W. +. Parsons and Master Ira
Parsons, aud supplied with one of Judge

the Bogue Chitto Association. This body

The order of the day on Sabbath was
religions exercises-a Sabbath School
mass meeting III the morning and preach
ing at ii o'clock and in the afternoon.
We reached the ground too late for the
mass meeting, but We heard an eloquent
and able sermon at IL o'clock by Rev.
}. X. Parish; Rev. 5. Morris preached TO
an equally large congregation at the stand
outside the church. There was an im-
mense crowd in Interchangeable largest
with one exception, we have ever seen
congregated in the county, consisting
of citizens of the counties of Lincoln.
Lawrence and Pike. After an intermis-
sion for dinner on the ground, President
Webb preached to n packed house from
Nehemiah 4:6, and made "A profound i'm
preston on all who heard his able dis
course.
Monday was devoted TO routine work
making, discussing and adopting reports
which was done in "a prompt and bust
ness-like way, and on Monday afternoon,
the parting hand was given, an earnest
prayer offered by brother Parish, the
bencdiction pronounced by Ed. Morris,
and the Association adjourned to meet
with the Mt. HermOn church, Washing
ton Parish, La, on Saturday before the
3rd Sabbath in September, 1888.
We never spent two days more agree
ably than we did Sunday and Monday
with the good and whole-souled people of
the Topisaw country and their clever
guests from this and the adjoining coun-
ties. 1t was our special good fortune to
fall into the hospItable hands of that
prince of good hosts, A. NJ. Summers,
Lincoln's next Floater Representative,
who lives near the church and whose
latch string always hangs on the outside
to friends ana strangers. Besides enjoy
ing their hospitality on the grounds, this
scribe together with DR.. Webb, Revs
Parish, Merrill and Morris, Mr.. A. j.
Martin, our next Ire asurer. and brother
Huff, the genial and polished editor of
the Magnolia Gazette, spent Sunday night
at Mr.. and Mrs. Summers hospitable
home aud were made to feel for the time
as one happy family under a home
roof
Monday evening we were kindly offered
a seat in Capt. A. A. Boyd's buggy be-
hiud his spirited clay hank and driven to
Summit. The Captain, who is high
Sheriff of Pike, and has filed the position
W it'll honor to himself and the satisfaction
of the people, finds ample time for religl-
Gus duties, and is DONG more for the
Sunday school cause within the bounds Of
his Association than any man of our
acquaintance. He is also one of the
clcvcrest and most deserving men in
the void, and for any Office he ever
wants from President down, he can
connt on the support of TIE LEADER
first last and all the time, even if hc is SO
handy with his peace bonds hen irate
editors want to fight
